Quick Facts Development, Designer ...

The Careel 18 was originally built in 1968 by John Duncanson as a Duncanson 18, with David Rose taking over manufacturing and renaming the boats the Careel 18.[1] It came out at a time when there was a boom in trailer sailers, but unlike many of its contemporaries, it remains popular today.[2]

The boat was produced in three versions; Mk I (900kg), Mk II (1100kg) and Mk III (1200kg) with successive design changes including additional ballast and increases to deck and cabin height.[3]
